Heirs from ages without record
Had the House of Lucie born,
Who of right had claim'd the Lordship
By the proof upon the Horn:
Each at the appointed hour
Tried the Horn, it own'd his power;
He was acknowledged: and the blast
Which good Sir Eustace sounded was the last.

And to Hubert thus said he,
"What I speak this Horn shall witness
"For thy better memory.
"Hear, then, and neglect me not!
"At this time, and on this spot,
"The words are utter'd from my heart,
"As my last earnest prayer ere we depart.
